I Hate Bullies

So I've noticed something. Whenever someone is being cyberbullied online, and one person does the right thing and stands up for that person, that person is referred to as a "white knight"? Lol. Actually, it's just someone who doesn't tolerate distasteful bullying, plain and simple. It's the right thing to do 🤷🏻‍♀️.
I agree. Even though it seems a simple thing to block, log out or ignore - to some (truth is, maybe to most) the cyber world is as real as the flesh and blood one.

We are all aware that there are a lot of people who are mentally fragile here and bullying is particularly dangerous for them.

There are also a lot of bullies here who would likely not say boo to a goose IRL but are vicious and venomous here. Valiant and courageous keyboard warriors.

Standing by and watching while a fragile soul gets savaged to me is equivalent to having a season ticket, front row, at the Coliseum.

The abuse, ridicule and cruelty are not memes and they are not cartoons. They come from those who have to have their boot on someone else's throat to feel a sense of power.

White knights are guys who do it only for girls to get their attention and perhaps get that girl to like them.
@SW-User Maybe sometimes, but that's not always the case, though.

@latinbutterfly That's a fake knight

Do you think calling users stupid, dumb and racist because they have different views/beliefs as you is bullying?
@xRedx Yes, it definitely can be.
I don't see it much. I don't consider whiney drama bullying, though it inevitably ends in personal attacks

People just have to say the last word

Just don't take offense at that term. That's the trick. They want you to get offended. You could care less really

@latinbutterfly even reporting they can still come back.

there was one guy that got IP banned but he still some how worked around that and kept spamming the forums

he finally disappeared or probably died >>...<<

White knight is usually when a guy stands up for a girl even when she's in the wrong because he just wants attention/is a bit of a weasel. Like selling out because you saw an oppurtunity or want to look good.

At least thats how I define it when I see it. If someone calls you that because you're actually just doing what you think is the right thing then the other people are likely deucebags.

It’s in the same category as “politically correct”—a term usually used by bullies when someone [b]checks[/b] them or puts them in their place.

@fairefoutre Well that's your view and you are obviously sticking to it.
